Malout/Muktsar : In violation of service rules, a Junior Engineer (JE) of the PWD (B&R), who has the additional charge of Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO), Malout, Sukhmandar Singh Gill, has installed huge hoardings thanking the ruling Badals for making SGPC member Dyal Singh Kolianwali Muktsar SAD district (rural) president.
The hoardings on the Malout-Delhi national highway also carry the pictures of Gill and his son. Sources in the PWD (B&R) said Gill was “very close” to Dyal Singh Kolianwali and to prove his loyalty to his “political boss”, he had installed the hoardings, unmindful of the service rules. Repeated attempts to contact Gill proved futile. He did not respond to an SMS sent on his phone in this regard. Ashok Goyal, Superintending Engineer, PWD (B&R), said, “If any official of our department has installed a hoarding to thank any politician, he has disobeyed the norms.” He however passed the buck on the Executive Engineer for failing to check such a practice.
